	Dendritic cell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The lifespan of activated dendritic cells, while somewhat varying according to type and origin, is of a similar order of magnitude, but immature dendritic cells seem to be able to exist in an unactivated state for much longer.
		However, the exact genesis and development of the different types and subsets of dendritic cells and their interrelationship is only marginally understood at the moment, as dendritic cells are so rare and difficult to isolate that only in recent years they have become subject of focused research.
		When the dendritic cell takes up HIV and then travels to the lymph node, the virus is able to move to helper T-cells, and this infection of helper T-cells is the major cause of disease.

	Welcome
		Dendritic Cell (DC) therapy represents a new and promising immunotherapeutic approach for treatment of advance cancer as well as for secondary prevention of cancer.
		The Dendritic Cell itself is an immune cell whose role is the recognition, processing and presentation of foreign antigens to the T-cells in the effector arm of the immune system.
		Dendritic Cell Therapy thus involves the harvesting of blood cells (ie monocytes or macrophages) from a patient and processing them in the laboratory to produce Dendritic Cells which are then given back to a patient in order to allow massive Dendritic participation in optimally activating the immune system.

		Dendritic cells are a form of white blood cell that act as natural immune response stimulators within the human immune system.
		Dendritic cells ingest the cancer proteins, break these proteins into small pieces, and transport them to the dendritic cell surface where they form unique images to which T cells bind.
		The results suggested that cultured blood dendritic cells can be a potent vaccine for the antigen-specific immunization of patients with advanced kidney cancer and that Th type-1-dominant immune responses involving DTH reaction are required for the induction of tumor regression.

		Their usual function is to identify foreign substances, such as cancer cells, process these foreign substances, and then jumpstart the immune response by bringing these foreign substances to the attention of T cells.
		It is then hoped that these dendritic cells will be able to specifically train T cells to attack and kill all prostate cancer cells that also have the same foreign material on their surface.
		Blood cells are removed from your body by a procedure called apheresis which involves removal of your blood through a catheter from an IV in your arm into a machine where cells called mononuclear cells will be separated from the other blood cells and saved.

	Dendritic Cell Therapy : Alternative Cancer Treatment
		Dendritic cells are found in all tissues of the body, and many of them began as macrophages.
		Dendritic cells were isolated from the bone marrow of these mice, cultured with some growth factors, and exposed to tumor peptides (information about the tumor cell membranes).
		The dendritic cells were given using vein injections on 4 occasions; subcutaneous (under the skin) injections of the tumor antigen and a protein that helps stimulate an immune response were injected two weeks after each dendritic cell injection.

		White blood cells (also called leukocytes or immune cells) are a component of blood.
		As well as in the blood, white cells are also found in large numbers in the lymphatic system, the spleen, and in other body tissues.

		Dendritic cell: A special type of cell that is a key regulator of the immune system, acting as a professional antigen-presenting cell (APC) capable of activating naïve T cells and stimulating the growth and differentiation of B cells.
		Dendritic cells are found, for example, in the lymph nodes and spleen.
		As an APC, a dendritic cell can retain antigen for long periods on its surface, present the antigen to a T or B cell and so influence their behavior.
